SYNTHESIS OF FILMS AND n-p-STRUCTURES ON COPPER AND ZINC OXIDE BASED BY MAGNETRON SPUTTERING

https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2017.01-03.012-021

Abstract

The results of obtaining zinc oxide films and ZnO/Cu2O(CuO) heterojunctions are presented. Structural, optical and electrical properties of the samples were studied depending on synthesis conditions. ZnO films were grown by magnetron sputtering. The synthesized films with a thickness of about 0.3 micron had a resistivity of 0.0014 Om·sm, mobility of 4.5 cm2/(V·s), free electron concentration of 1·1021  cm-3, and a surface resistance of about 45 ohms per square. The optical transmission coefficient of ZnO films in the visible region was about 90%. Heterojunctions n-ZnO/p-Cu2O(CuO) were obtained by vacuum deposition of copper on ZnO film followed by annealing. The effect of thermal annealing and plasma treatment on the properties of ZnO/Cu2O(CuO) samples was investigated. The photoresponse of heterojunctions was found to be increased, and leakage current was reduced as a result of short -term treatment in hydrogen plasma.
